The pin that the King wore yesterday on the lapel of his jacket was the button for the decoration of the Order of Carlos III , sources from the Zarzuela Palace have clarified to settle the controversy that has begun to circulate in the last hours on the networks social and that points to that Felipe VI wore a tricorn, in full controversy about the relays in the dome of the Civil Guard by the Interior Minister, Fernando Grande-Marlaska.
Zarzuela released images on Thursday of a meeting of the Kings with young researchers and entrepreneurs and the Association PRO Guardia Civil (APROGC) has stated on Twitter that the head of state had a tricorn on his lapel.
However, sources from the Casa del Rey have clarified this Friday that it was the button of the decoration of the Royal Order of Carlos III, of which the King is the Grand Master and that is awarded to outstanding people for their actions in benefit of Spain and the Crown .
Jon Iñarritu, deputy from EH Bildu, was one of the first voices to condemn on Twitter that the King was wearing "tricorn", an erroneous assessment that he rectified this morning after learning of Zarzuela's clarification.
The Asociación PRO Guardia Civil (APROGC), for opposite reasons, also participated in the dissemination of this error on social networks. "The First Soldier of Spain has our tricorn on his lapel," he said yesterday in his account. Today, after knowing the denial, they have justified themselves by appealing to emotions: "SM carries us in our hearts and that made us see a tricorn."
